Don't know what Dave was necessarily thinking but I had in mind
something like this quick quote:
"Hated from outside and therefore hating himself, the Negro was forced
into the position of exploring all those moral wildernesses of civilized
life which the Square automatically condemns as delinquent or evil or
immature or morbid or self-destructive or corrupt."
Living outside the law
Ripping off the system
To boot, a model for the white would be revolutionary
Now I'm going sailing before another hurricane strikes.
